the police who went to execute a writ OF
eviction against her at Knocklado, county
Antrim, today. She barricaded her house
and, with the assistance Of some friends,
defended II for a long time against the large
force OF officers, who attempted to take It
by v0lleys Of stones and streams Of boiling
water thrown upon them. The police finally
the house by charge with fixed
bayOnets, but not until many Of them were

TyndalIs Attacks on Gladstone.
LONDON, August 9.-Professor Tyndall
has written another scathing article, attack
ing Gladstone. He says that all the facts
tend TO verify the fact that Gladstone Is
merely resonant mask through which
John Morley blows over the land his fanatic
treason.
PerpIexed Peers.
The House Of Lords Is perplexed over the
text Of the land bin as II came from the
Commons, and the members Of that body
foremost in pushing the measure through,
fail to recognize, In the ameuded bill before
them, the harsh provisions they voted upon
a few weeks ago for the settlement OF the
differences between the Irish landlord and
tenant. Some Of the noble lords are inclln-
ed TO be indignant at the wholesale slaughter
inflicted upon the clauses Of the bill by the
Commons, and talk wildly Of proposing the
restoration OF some vi them, but as the
Tory lords will now swallow anything In
order TO return Unionist members to the
Commons, there Is no likelihood that the
measure will be further modified, amended
or augmented. Some little discussion will
probably be INDUCED In, and a few Of the
Irish peers will probably give forcible ex-
preston to their opinions, but as the bill
bill, and the matter will be dropped after
the dissatisfied ones have had an OppOrtun-
ity to vent their Indignation.

The Prince OF Bulgaria.
LONDON, Aug. 9.-The report that Prince
Ferdinand had arrived at Turner Sevrin,
Roumania, whence he would leave. for Tir-
nova to meet the assembled Bulgarian So
branje and take the Office and allegiance to
Bulgaria, is wholly without foundation.
Prince Ferdinand Is really not free agent
in the matter Of his going to Bulgaria, and
VIII most aSSuredly pay no attention 10 the
Bulgarian pressure that Is being brought to
bear upon him to hasten his arrival In Sofia,
until f0OthOld has been secured for him by
his hackers. The kilograms which have
been circulated frequently of late announe-
ing his departure for Bulgaria were prompt

The chinese-Annerican Syndicate.
The Pail Mall Gazette wakes enthusiastic
over the new Cainese-American syndicate,
and has wholly receded from its position OF
few days ago. 1t is especially jubllant
over the construction Of a railway between
Canton, TIentsin and Pekin, which IL be-
feves will benefit England quite as much as
America or China. and at no expense TO
Great Britain. 1t says, however, that the
development Of China should not be too
sudden, the rapid opening Of channels Of
Immigration being too serious a matter 10 be-
obscured by the dazzle of business enter
prise. and fears that the establishment OF an
interior with the treaty ports would bring
about the dangerous possibility that Chinese
labor would invade Europe, unless prODer
safeguards were employed With this dan
ger removed by legislation similar 70 that
now In force In America, the work of the
syndicate cannot fail TO be Of immense bene-
ht to Europe and especially to England.
Foreign Notes.
The London Standard says that there have
been no League meetings in ireland for the
last two Sundays, owing TO the influence of
the Parnellite leaders, who desire to avoid
giving the government an excuse for pro-
claiming the League.
